Hi Kev, <br /> <br />Thanks for your response. Your response (and others) just helps emphasize my point. I've made only a handful of posts here, but you immediately associate me with two other individuals I don't know and start calling me names because I don't agree with you. <br /> <br />Let's start with the basics. This is a forum. I went to the dictionary and found this definition: <br /> <br />fo·rum n. 1 a square in ancient Rome where public business was conducted: The forums were busy places. 2 a place for the open exchange of ideas, opinions, and information: This radio talk show is a forum for political discussions. <br /> <br />I think we know that this is not ancient Rome, so the 2nd definition applies. <br /> <br />Kev, here is the way I think it works. I advance an idea or opinion. I support that idea with logic. I back up that logic with facts. Then, you reply in turn. Name calling is for little kids. <br /> <br />Here is an example. <br /> <br />Just to say "Stop Look Listen and Live" is not sufficient. Grade crossings can be made safer. If SLL&L is sufficient, then how do you explain that roughly 100 pedestrians have been injured at grade crossings in the last three years (FRA statistics)? They didn't have the radio cranked up, the windows rolled up, (probably weren't chatting on the cell phone). etc. What part of SLL&L didn't work for them (well, obviously the "Live" part). <br /> <br />Now it would be your turn. Incidently, the number one question on the FRA website FAQ concerns grade crossing safety. <br /> <br />How about it Kev (or Ed or Jenny or Cabforward, etc.)? Are you game? <br /> <br /> <br />
